Official opening of a housing project for adults living with autism spectrum disorder in the Gaspé region Français
GASPÉ, QC, Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, as part of his tour of the Gaspé region, Lionel Carmant, Quebec Minister Responsible for Social Services; along with Stéphane Sainte-Croix, Member of the National Assembly for Gaspé, officially opened a 12-unit building offering housing for adults living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The building's first residents will move in October. This housing project was completed in collaboration with Demeure-Toi, a Gaspé-based non-profit organization created by parents and relatives of people living with autism who wish to create living environments that meet the needs of their loved ones. The project has also received support from various government authorities as well as a community organization. The building will house 11 people. The 12th unit will be rented and occupied by a support worker. In addition to being an adult living with ASD, the criteria for accessing one of the units are as follows: Having life goals that involve becoming actively involved in society and living independently. Demonstrated desire, motivation and engagement in pursuing these goals. Desire to receive services from the team of multidisciplinary professionals assigned to this project. The services offered are personal assistance, help with domestic living, civic support and supervision. Specialized education will also be offered to residents by the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de la Gaspésie. This project received support from the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services in order to help develop new housing for people with physical and intellectual disabilities and ASD, to better meet their needs, and to decrease the number of people on waitlists. The organization will also receive $275,000 annually to provide the above-mentioned services. The Société d'habitation du Québec (SHQ) contributed an additional $5.2 million to the Demeure Toi project through a tripartite agreement with the City of Gaspé and the project developer. This financial assistance enabled the shelter to break ground and fully realize its mission. Quotes: "We are determined to work with all orders of government and all sectors to provide housing support to those who need it most. This project allowed us to create housing rapidly for some of the most vulnerable people with the most urgent needs in Gaspé. Our government is proud to be among the partners who have made this project possible." The Honourable Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada "Adults living with ASD need to develop their independence as part of a life project that will help them reach their full potential. To do this, they need a living environment that is well adapted to their reality, in their own community, close to their family and loved ones. For this to happen successfully, we need to provide them with the necessary support services, and that's why I'm very proud to have provided my support and the support of our social services teams for this project." Lionel Carmant, Quebec Minister Responsible for Social Services "Providing suitable housing for adults living with autism spectrum disorder is a concrete step forward in Quebec's housing continuum. This project is clear proof that we are stepping up our efforts to increase the housing supply across Quebec by focusing on sustainable, functional, inclusive and safe living environments. It embodies our desire to meet the special needs of every Quebecer with dignity and respect. I want to warmly congratulate all the partners involved." France-Élaine Duranceau, Minister Responsible for Housing "The needs of adults in the Gaspé region with autism spectrum disorder are pressing, as evidenced by the fact that many citizens came together to develop this wonderful project. There will be services to effectively support these individuals and their families in their desire for independence and growth in the community. I would like to thank all our partners in this journey, including Demeure Toi, the federal government and the regional health and social services institution and its dedicated teams." Maïté Blanchette Vézina, Minister of Natural Resources and Forests, Minister Responsible for the Bas-Saint-Laurent Region and the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine Region "I am delighted to see this project, which is the product of a local initiative and which meets the urgent needs of people living with ASD and their families, through to completion. I thank the members of our community who made this happen with the support of our two levels of government. There's no doubt that this project will make a big difference in the lives of the people who live here. In developing their independence, the residents of these units will be better able to contribute to the vibrancy of our entire region, and that's something I'm proud of." – Stéphane Sainte-Croix, Member of the National Assembly for Gaspé Highlights: The project's implementation cost is estimated at $9 million. The Canada-Quebec Rapid Housing Initiative Agreement provided $3.65 million in funding. The specialized education services provided by the CISSS are equivalent to $40,000 in funding.

SOS Children's Villages Canada celebrates International Youth Day with the launch of a new green employment initiative for vulnerable youth in Ethiopia, Rwanda and Somalia Français
Transformative five-year project, launched in partnership with Global Affairs Canada, will support over 18,000 disadvantaged youth in building climate-resilient futures OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - As the world marks International Youth Day, a day recognizing the unique contributions and challenges of youth in global development, SOS Children's Villages Canada celebrates the launch of its new initiative: Green Growth: Empowering Youth for a Green Future (Green Growth). This project addresses the social and environmental challenges facing disadvantaged youth, particularly young women, in building sustainable economic futures. Green Growth is a five-year initiative launched in partnership with the Government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada. It aims to help over 18,000 young people in Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Somalia overcome barriers to employment and entrepreneurship, and prepare for careers in green and emerging industries. The project targets the most vulnerable youth in urban and semi-rural areas, including those who have lost parental care or are at risk of losing it, are not in education, employment, or training (NEET), or belong to other marginalized groups, such as youth with special needs and teenage or single mothers. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Report 2025 highlights that youth face persistently high unemployment challenges with one in five young people NEET globally, leaving them without opportunities to build skills or gain work experience. Young women are twice as likely to be affected than young men. Climate change is further disrupting youth access to economic opportunities, especially for young women, as climate-induced disasters displace millions, worsen food insecurity, and heighten social instability. Ethiopia, for example, is still recovering from the worst drought in 40 years, followed by severe flooding, while under the threat of yet another drought. "SOS Children's Villages is proud to launch the Green Growth project in partnership with Global Affairs Canada," said Thomas Bauer, President and CEO of SOS Children's Villages Canada. "Youth unemployment and climate change are twin crises that are deeply interconnected – especially in vulnerable regions like East Africa. Green Growth offers a powerful solution by equipping young people with the skills, training, and opportunities they need to build sustainable livelihoods in sectors that are both climate-resilient and part of the solution to the climate crisis. Whether through clean energy, sustainable agriculture, or green technologies, young people can be drivers of economic recovery and environmental sustainability." Green Growth is designed to respond to the specific needs of vulnerable young people living in high-risk areas of Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Somalia. The project will strengthen youth skills and expand access to employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in green and emerging sectors by: Partnering with technical and vocational education and training institutions to deliver accessible, gender-sensitive, and practical training Removing barriers to education, hands-on training, employment, and entrepreneurship for marginalized youth Equipping young people with market-relevant technical and green skills to increase their employability Providing entrepreneurship training and business development services to help youth start and grow small businesses Building partnerships with the private sector to increase access to decent employment and support youth-led enterprises In addition to helping equip over 18,000 young people with the skills for employment and entrepreneurship, Green Growth will work with employers, business development partners and financial institutions to create paths to employment and entrepreneurship – bridging the gap between education and employment. The project is expected to indirectly benefit an additional 81,000 youth with improved access to education and employment, generating lasting impact for families and communities. About SOS Children's Villages Canada SOS Children's Villages Canada, founded in 1969, is a member of the world's largest charitable federation focused on supporting children and young people without parental care, or at risk of losing it.

This is Keziah's story, a young woman with lived experience of foster care and a member of CAFC's Young People's Advisory Council, this heartfelt story follows a young girl whose world is turned upside down when she enters care.

Keziah's Secret Armour reminds us that we all carry the strength to survive and thrive, especially when a caring community supports us. Produced for the Children's Aid Foundation of Canada Gala - Teddy Bear Affair, Keziah's Secret Armour received such an overwhelming response that Keziah and the Foundation knew it needed to reach a broader audience. "There are an estimated 61,000 young people in care in Canada today, and another 300,000 at risk of entering the system. Too many face ongoing challenges like poverty, homelessness, and mental health struggles. Keziah's is just one story. We want this story to raise awareness and inspire support for youth across the country —young people who are courageously navigating systems and challenges that many Canadians never see and who deserve every opportunity to thrive," said Valerie McMurtry, President & CEO, Children's Aid Foundation of Canada. Written by and illustrated by acclaimed artist Tim Shinn, the book is both emotionally moving and visually compelling. It's a story for children, families, educators, and community members, especially in the Black community, where systemic inequities continue to see Black youth overrepresented in the child welfare system. As Canada's leading charity dedicated to supporting children, youth, and families involved in the child welfare system, Children's Aid Foundation of Canada works to remove barriers and unlock opportunities, offering the kinds of support and encouragement reflected in Keziah's story.
